Applying for a university or not requiring IELTS scores: International students applying for a Canadian university need to provide valid language scores. For example, it takes IELTS 6.5 or TOEFL 85 or above to apply for direct undergraduate enrollment, which is a great challenge for candidates from non-English-speaking countries to prepare for language tests. However, for international students who have studied in high school in Canada for four years, applying for a university can get rid of their language scores and do not need to spend time preparing for IELTS or TOEFL.

The high school education system can better connect with North American universities: because Canadian high schools are based on the credit system, the course selection direction and learning focus of each grade are different;

When students are in the third year of high school, in order to better adapt to college courses, they can start to take college preparatory courses. Besides studying, there are many clubs and team activities in high schools to help foreign students integrate into Canadian culture as soon as possible and improve their abilities in all aspects.

More comprehensive ability: Compared with foreign students who directly enter the university, foreign students who finish high school in Canada and then go to university have stronger language ability and self-study ability, stronger adaptability to Canadian university life and better integration into the social circle of local students.

It is easier to renew a visa than to apply for it for the first time: as we all know, Canada is one of the most difficult countries to apply for visas. Compared with foreign students who come directly to the university, international students who go to Canada to study after high school only need to apply for renewal of their study visa or find a licensed immigration lawyer; It is much easier to renew a student visa in China than to apply for it for the first time.
